“You...”
“Shut up!” The Matriarch glared at Maggie.
“Auntie, we also regret losing the grandson, but this isn't Justin’s fault. As he just said, it was Cathy’s own promiscuous life and frequent abortions that caused...” Mrs. Carter tried to explain.
The Matriarch ordered coldly, “Enough, I’m tired. Robert, you all go back first! Take good care of Cathy!”
Robert gave his wife a look, and the family left.
“Just... just letting them go like that?” Maggie asked in dissatisfaction.
“What else do you want? Is this not embarrassing enough? Don’t think I don’t know about the sordid things Cathy has done over the years. Let me tell you, Edward, and you too, Maggie—Cathy snatched this marriage from Claire’s hands herself. Now that she’s ended up like this, she brought it on herself. She made her bed, now she has to lie in it!”
“Whether she lives or dies in the Carter family has nothing to do with us! I don’t want to deal with her mess anymore! All she does is cause trouble all day long, even stooping so low as to drug someone. I think you parents should reflect on yourselves too. From now on, don’t bring your family’s dirty laundry to me!”
After the scolding, the Matriarch went to rest.
The matter was left unsettled, and the Second Branch family felt like they had been forced to swallow a bitter pill.

Evergold Heights.
“Jon is going abroad tomorrow, so tonight, let’s have a good family gathering!” Daniel said to everyone.
Tonight, regardless of what they had going on, everyone came back.
Chris also put aside his work to celebrate Jon.
“Jon, when you go abroad, make sure to study hard! Aside from Claire, you have the highest education in our family!” Chris said to him.
